Is my application a joke?

<p>Dear College Confidential,</p>

<p>I applied to Tufts as a ridiculous reach school. Do I have any chance at all of getting in?</p>

<p>I'm a white male and I go to a small public school in the middle of nowhere in Massachusetts.</p>

<p>SAT: 690v, 680m, 690w
SATII: 610 Literature, 700 Math I
GPA: 3.9 weighted
Class Rank: 4/109</p>

<p>I've taken all the hardest classes possible but my school doesn't offer that many APs. I've taken AP Chem (3 on the test), AP Language (4 on the test), and AP Envi. Sci (5 on the test). This year I have AP Calc and AP U.S. History and some other honors classes.</p>

<p>Main Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>-President of National Honor Society
-Treasurer of Student Council
-Vice-President of Class
-Special Olympics Coach
-Band/Jazz Band and other musical activities
-Steady job at the local coffee shop since 10th grade
-Soccer throughout high school (not very good though)</p>

<p>My recommendations were good but I have no idea how my essays are. I think they were good but they weren't sobbing-on-the-floor-for-hours essays that change your life. </p>

<p>If anyone could let me know what you think I would really appreciate it. Thanks.</p>

<p>Tufts is very tough to get into. You seem like a qualified applicant, but you never know what Tufts wants.</p>

<p>don't worry, it is most definitely not a ridiculous reach for you. people with lower stats than you have gotten in, and people with higher stats have gotten rejected...it's always a tossup for well known schools like tufts. if your essays were good, and you express enthusiasm (because apparently tufts LOOOVES that) to go there, you have a reasonable chance.</p>

<p>ya you look fine. the only thing that sucks is something you cant control: being a white male from massachusetts.</p>
